1 month ago | magazine6000.com | Emily Smith

Perth’s festival season has come to a close and the final shows of Perth Festival have wrapped up. The inaugural year of Anna Reece’s role as Artistic Director has brought us theatre, light shows, dance, music, and reinvigorated venues across Perth. One of these venues was Perth Town Hall, rebranded as The Embassy and turned into a speakeasy-style music hall where the party continued late into the night.
Educating, inspiring and accelerating action as a Financial Adviser

1 month ago | david-allen.co.uk | Emily Smith |Hannah Davies

My career journey is something that I’m really proud of just to think that fifty years ago, women in the UK were not even able to open a bank account without their husband’s permission, certainly means that life for many has changed a lot. However, we all know it should not stop there. Supporting awareness and education to drive action with our clients is something I am passionate about which ties in with this year’s International Women’s Day topic of accelerating action.
What My Father’s Emails Taught Me About the Craft of Writing

2 months ago | lithub.com | Emily Smith

The computer lab where I checked my email was in the basement of Cornell’s Electrical and Computer Engineering building. A windowless room with thin, industrial carpet that felt like a second home. There was a vending machine outside the doors where, for under a dollar, I could buy a strawberry Pop-tart for dinner. Picking at the treat, breaking off the crunchy corners first, saving the gooey middle for last, I’d log into the portal where I knew an email from my dad was waiting.
Simply Spooky: Haunted

2 months ago | magazine6000.com | Emily Smith

On the evening of a forty-degree day the front room of the Brass Monkey is stiflingly hot, so we areall looking forward to the ‘chills’ Kevin Kopfstein promises to create with his show Haunted. Kevin’s blurb says he is a Scottish storyteller and collector of what he calls hauntiques: artefactssupposedly imbued with supernatural power. History nerds should doubly beware; the stories arespooky, but the artefacts are probably not legitimate as most of them serve as props for Kevin’s magictricks.

Staging Domestic Violence in 2024's Kiss Me, Kate - Magazine6000

Oct 4, 2024 | magazine6000.com | Emily Smith

Which brings me to the plot of Kiss Me, Kate, or, as I have dubbed it, Domestic Violence: The Musical. I realise that having come to the show without having seen the 1953 movie and having no knowledge of the plot meant I was in a position to be more shocked than others, but I am hardly the first critic to take issue with this show. The show is essentially the plot of Taming of the Shrew told twice, by the characters in the play and the actors backstage.

We Will Remember Them: 21 Hearts

Apr 24, 2024 | magazine6000.com | Emily Smith

21 Hearts is the harrowing yet heartwarming true story of Vivian Bullwinkel, a nurse stationed in Singapore during the Second World War, who survived unspeakable horrors as a prisoner of the Japanese army. Playwright Jenny Davis has also written a book for young readers, published by Fremantle Press, about Bully (as she was known to her fellow nurses) and her experience in the war. I have not read Courage Be My Friend but if the play is anything to go by readers should have tissues at the ready.
Why my brother got ‘Han Soloed’ for his role in the most infamous Cal-Stanford game ever played

Nov 17, 2023 | sfchronicle.com | Emily Smith

“Your brother has been Han Soloed.” A year ago, I got this startling WhatsApp message from a friend. It included a link to a video. My brother Tom Smith had recently died of a heart attack, so what on Earth was this? I clicked the link. Back in 1982, my brother, 10 years older than me, was a proud member of the irreverent Stanford University band. Its members delighted in their nonconformity and esteemed chaos over order.
